WEEKLY SCHEDULE
FOR
PLAY PRODUCTION
10/01 - 10/05
THE IMAGINARY INVALID


Monday, October 1, 2007:

I will not be here today through Wednesday. Phoenix is in charge and will do run-throughs of the show.
Thomas Roche will be here for about an hour from 2: 15 to about 3: 15.
I will try to be back in time for rehearsal after school.


Tuesday, October 2, 2007:

Same as before. Phoenix is in charge and will do run-throughs of the show.
I will try to be back in time for rehearsal after school.


Wednesday, October 3, 2007:

Same as before.


Thursday, October 4, 2007:

Minimum day:

We will rehearse from 1:30 until five pm.
You have an hour off for lunch so please be back ready to work on time at 1:30. Please anticipate hunger pains by packing a snack to eat during rehearsals, and have homework ready to work on when you’re not rehearsing.


Friday, October 5, 2007:

6th Period:

Rehearse the final scene, “The Graduation Scene”.

Beginning next week we will start staying until 5 on Friday.

Please note that during the hours of 2: 15 to 5:00 we are in rehearsals. Please take care of personal needs (eating, drinking, text messaging, hanging out with friends, etc) before or after rehearsals. Please do not whine and beg to be released early because: a) I can’t. I’m legally responsible for you until 5 pm (or 3:25 on Fridays) and I don’t want to be held responsible if you wander out into traffic at 3:24 and b) it’s REALLY ANNOYING to hear “Can you let me out early? There’s only five minutes left in the period and you’re not using me -” when I am concentrating on a scene.

Remember: You are young adult artists engaged in a creative enterprise. NO WHINING!

SEPTEMBER 17TH - 21ST


Monday, September 17th:

Monday, we will meet in the auditorium for some theatre games and improvs.
3:25: Brief meeting with Ken Martinez and the LACC Theatre Academy.

3:25 - 5 pm: Today we will work on pages 28 through 37 in Act 1. Soooo... if your character shows up on those pages, then you need to be here! This includes: Argan, Toinette, Angelique, Cleante, Diafoirus, Thomas, and Beline. Beline, hang tight, because there is a chance we may not get to you. If by some ridiculous oversight on my part, I did not list your name and your character is in those scenes, do NOT think you get a free “get-out-of-jail” card. You STILL have to be here!

Alexis, my trusty stage manager, should be here as well.


Tuesday, September 18th:

Shortened day!

Because it’s still relatively early in the semester, we will not stay late today; however, starting with the next shortened Tuesday (September 25th) we will stay until five.

Run through Act 1.










Thursday, September 20th:

Today we will determine the crews we need and then you will join a crew you think you would enjoy working on and that would help the production. Some crews you might want to consider are: publicity, programs, fund raising, costumes, props, sets, incidental music, sound effects, etc.

7th Period:

Play time! Improvs and theatre games!

Begin working on Act 2; pages 38 through 48. The characters needed are Argan, Lousie, and Beralde. We will try to work as far as we can through the Argan-Beralde scenes.


Friday, September 21st:

6th Period:

Theatre games. Review the scenes we worked on the day before.

Because it is still relatively early in the semester, we will not stay late this Friday, but be aware that in about two to three weeks we will HAVE to stay on Friday!

Have a great week!

CAST LIST
FOR
IMAGINARY INVALID



Thank you all for auditioning. Your talent and commitment made the decision very difficult. Mr. Itkin and I could have cast the show in three totally different ways but we feel that this is the best combination. Please bear in mind that this cast list is tentative; we reserve the right to make changes as we see fit depending on the best needs of the show and unforeseen situations.

Thank you again for your commitment and your talent!



ARGON Elizabeth Giron

TOINETTE Taryn Cohen

ANGELIQUE Chelsea Simmons

CLEANTE Edgar Gonzalez-Aguilar

LOUISE Diana Caldera

BELINE Vanessa Gray

DIAFOIRUS Zack Moore

THOMAS Grace MacMillan

PURGON Andoni (I don't have your last name)

BERALDE Phoenix Mason

BONNEFOI Emma Elam

FLEURANT Hayden Goldschein


Some of you might think, "Hey, but I didn't even audition for that role!" A director doesn't have to read an actor for a specific role to know that the actor would be right for it.

For those of you who were not cast, please do not be too upset. Everyone who read showed talent. We just couldn't cast everyone and not everyone - regardless of talent - will be right for every role. There are many of you who are greatly talented and would be cast in leads if we were doing Lorca or another heavy drama, but this time around it's a comedy and the comedic actors are given a shot. However, I would love to use those of you who were not cast in other roles and in other capacities.

I do not know for sure if I can get back from Burbank tomorrow and Tuesday in time for after school rehearsals; therefore, there won't be after school rehearsals on Monday and Tuesday. On Monday and Tuesday, during 6th period, we will watch The Marx Brother's DUCK SOUP, so you can get a sense of the manic energy Moliere requires. We will stay until five on Wednesday and Thursday and begin working on the first act. Elizabeth, Taryn, Chelsea, Vanessa, and Emma will stay this week.

Again, thank you for your work, your time and your talent.

Ms. Kate Bridges

Agenda for the Week of June 19th
for
Advanced Acting


Monday, June 19th:

Today we will be having auditions for the “Jerry Melton” acting scholarship during 5th and 6th period in #503. For those of you who aren’t auditioning you must either rehearse or if your partner(s) are auditioning then you must study your lines quietly. You will be informed where to meet at 1:15 pm.

Tuesday, June 20th:

Today we will determine the order of the scenes on Thursday and Friday. I will then work with the first group that’s going up on Thursday, June 22nd.

Wednesday, June 21st:

Today I will work with the next group that’s up on Thursday.

For Thursday and Friday, I have invited a few teachers and classes to come and observe your acting final.

You must turn in on the day of your performance your acting notebook which must include your script with blocking, your “person, place and thing” project, your “objective” project, your character biography and your character’s“A Day in the LIfe”. Failure to do so will result in an immediate lowering of your grade by one letter.

You are responsible for getting your own costumes, props, furniture and music. If you need help I will certainly lend assistance, but DO NOT wait until the day of the performance to tell me. You should have your costumes, props and furniture lined up and ready to go by Tuesday at the latest.

Suburban Motel, Whose Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and the monologue from Death and the Maiden will be performed at the top of the 6th period final. Mr. Itkin, Mr. Goldyn and I will be present for your audtions. Please be aware that other actors from outside your class will also be auditioning at this time for admission to the Fall Play Production Class. You may also use this as your audition piece for admission to the production class.

The rest of the classtime will be spent trying to salvage our grades!
For the rest of you who have made a “D” or an “F” in a core subject (math, English, science, etc.) then you must use this time as a study hall to get your grades back up. You must also go to tutoring from 3:30 to 4:30 on Monday, Tuesday and Friday of this week, and all of next week (Monday - Friday). This is from the administration and THEY ARE NOT KIDDING!

Friday, June 10th:

Is anyone going to be here at all? It’s prom night so everyone will be busy getting nipped and tucked for the big night! A little plastic surgery, collagen, botox, tummy tucks, etc. Whatever you need for your big night!

But don’t drink and drive! We want you all healthy and whole and in one piece for Saturday and Sunday.

And don’t drink! Alcohol leaves you tired and dehydrated the next day, and depletes you of much needed energy. And to give a good performance you need lots of energy.
